Why Upgrade?
Most bolt on long travel kits on the market today reuse factory spindles, leaving a critical weak point in the suspension system. The DRT Fabrication fabricated spindle eliminates that weak link, providing the missing link needed to build a truly bulletproof suspension package.
This design is based on the factory spindle with no geometry changes, allowing compatibility with any bolt on long travel kit designed around OEM spindles. This includes both 2WD and 4WD Tacoma based suspension systems, as well as applicable 4Runner, GX460, and FJ Cruiser platforms.
